The Solo disease?

[Eldaena]

for the love of god, we have the label soloist being thrown around can we please keep elitist out, labels like these do nothing but hold games and their communities back.

I'm sorry that my term caused you to feel that you must post in retort, but when one person believes that the way they do things in a game, or how they feel about others in a game, is the right way and the only way, that feels pretty elitist to me.

He is saying that solo players are almost always bad at playing in groups.

How does he know this?

Has he played with most solo players in this game? Seriously doubtful considering they do not want to party with him or seemingly anyone. He is assuming.

Don't insult me in thinking that i don't know what an elitist is... By creating a derogatory label such as elitist you only further the very problem you are attempting to label (which has no relevance). Ever hear of the saying "treat a person like a animal long enough and he will become an animal", that is the most basic way of describing labeling theory. You are part of the problem so stop flinging these stupid labels around!

Edit: Your not the only person, the whole community has adopted this mentality and its turned these threads to crap!

I never said you didn't know what an elitist was...

And fine, I'll just simply say it as it is without a label. He is being stereotypical. He is assuming. He believes he is correct and everyone else is incorrect. Better now?

Edit: For the record I wasn't talking about anyone using the term 'soloist.' If anything I was just attempting to prevent negative association of that word with the characteristics he was using. Because soloist doesn't = bad. Elitist however does = the description I was attempting to use for the guy. Regardless if I say 'elitist' or if I say in detail what I felt the poster's thoughts were, it means the same thing. So biting my head off for my terminology doesn't change anything.

retorting in elementary definitions of a term you know a person knows is text book insult but w/e.

And yeah that's better

I had the same issues... people who solo duel box themselves tend to have poor hate management since they do not know solo and group needs different skill sets :P

Honestly you really need to be choosing when it comes to picking an mmo you can solo in. And understand that there is no such thing as a solo only mmo to expect to group sometimes for certain content or just not do that content. You guys make the choice in playing an mmo. You make the chpoice to solo. Do not cry to the devs after finding out you can't solo 100%
